Resumo: The town has a population of 498.857 people. Historically, the main language groups are German speakers who amount to 69,15% of the total, Italian 26,47% and Ladin 4,37%. 73% of the people living in the capital city belong to the Italian linguistic group, 26,29% to the German and 0,71% to the Ladin (according to the 2001 census).

At the end of 2008 36.284 foreign nationals, including EU-citizens (UE-27), were living permanently. This number has increased by 10.1% from the year before. Among foreign nationals 32.3% (11.728) are EU-citizens, 35.4% come from European countries outside the EU. 14.5% foreign nationals are from Asia, 13.1% come from the African continent.

These figures show that on the total number of the population in South, the number of resident foreign nationals has incresed from 6.7% at the beginning of 2008 to 7,3% at the end of the same year. Additionally, 50% of the total number of foreign nationals are aged between 25 and 45. Nearly 30% of the total number of foreign nationals are children or young people, This proportion is not much higher among Italian citizens living in the province.

The large number of researches conducted on the youth culture in Italy and in Europe have shown a decrease in interest towards active political and social participation of young generations.

More interest is shown towards associations, even though more and more often young people tend to diminish their particpation also in this field. In other words, in developed societies young people demonstrate a limited interest in the chances and future of the society. As a consequence, the full exercise of young people's rights and duties as citizens is likely to be jeopardized.

A survey on youth attitude towards politics - which do not correspond to political institutions but to decision making processes regarding community life - was conducted in the province. The survey has shown a limited interest in political issues. Only 6.2% are interested in politics at local level, 6.8% at provincial level, 8.9% at national level and 12.0% at internatioanl level. Nonetheless, education issues have appeared to be of major interest, amounting to 71.2%. Other topics are of minor interest. For example, one third or a little more of young people participating in the survey are interested in human rights, 30% are interested in peace and disarmement and one fifth in women's rights and in problems related to globalizations. The South Tyrolean youth doesn't show a great interest towards social issues. Large groups of young people show no interest in politics - at the local, national or international level - nor in social issues, environmental or social ethic issues.

Perfil: The project is open to all young people motivated to work with young people, schools and youth groups. The volunteers have to be open, interested and willing to work in team and interested in social and multicultural issues. It would be of advantage if the volunteers already had basic knowledge of German and/or Italian, but this is not an essential requirement.

The recruitment and the selection will be carried out together with the association. The organization will publish the volunteering vacancy on it's webpage. Furthermore, the organization will advertise among all organizations known to them and working with them. The organization will follow the pre selection of all volunteers who contact the association directly via email or by a sending organisation by evaluating their motivations and qualifications for the project and for the voluntary work.
Both organisations are open to work with sending organizations from all countries of the world.

Tarefas: he volunteers will work with the hosting organization, its partners and other partners working with young people and young adults in the social area. The volunteers will be part of a team and they will participate in group meetings and in meetings with other volunteers. They will have the opportunity to see the work of the offices involved in the programme. They will have the possibility to participate in the project management of educational events, meetings, conferences, projects etc. Furthermore, they will have the chance to meet other young people working in volunteering. The experience will be important for the development and the growth of the volunteer and it will have a positive impact on his/her self-esteem and indipendence. Additionally, the voluntary service will help the volunteer to develop or discover social and professional competences. With the support of German and Italian language classes, the volunteer will have the opportunity to learn two foreign languages and to practice them everyday. Housing and kitchen facilities are available in one of the buildings of the organization in the center.

The EVS Programme will give the volunteer the opportunity to gain an intercultural experience and it will favour contacts and friendship between young people from different countries. The volunteer will be able to get to know a new and multicultural city (German-Italian). Furthermore, s/he will adquire new skills like: project planning, organization, implementation and evaluation of projects, intercultural and communication skills, knowledge of the youth work in South Tyrol, knowledge concerning social issues, peace, globalization, poverty, cultural diversity and social responsibility. S/he will learn about the conditions of the homeless and marginalized people in South Tyrol, about the situation of the eldery, refugees and immigrants and s/he will explore diverse forms of poverty.

During the voluntary service, meetings with the responsible staff of the service and with the manager of the volunteering unit will be held in order to discuss the experiences of the voluntary work.

The volunteers will not substitue a regular work position but collaborate with members of the young team. During the service they will be always assisted by young staff. The volunteers are welcome to enrich the organization with new ideas and feedbacks and assist staff members to organize workshops, to manage autonomously single steps of a project, to participate in drafting projects on education and on awareness raising, to participate in meetings on project presentation and project promotion, to promote voluntary work through activities organized by young, to take part in training courses and meetings, to elaborate, produce and distribute information material, to inform and educate about intercultural dialogue, to assist and support different initiatives and laboratories in schools and in parish churches.

Furthermore, they will have the opportunity to present their own ideas and opinions in order to elaborate new projects together.

The volunteers will work in the offices of young. In the beginning they will have the opportunity to learn about the different offices of the organization in order to gain an overall idea of the work of the organization and to learn about some of the services offered by the organization (e.g. the section for homeless people). After that, the volunteer will work together in the offices of young and follow the staff in their daily work (organization and implementation of workshops and projects, accompanying young volunteers, developing new projects, work in information and awareness raising, …)
